Here's a fun, hopefully harmless exercise to keep us busy this week.

If we win against FAU, suppose it is because some player has heard the call, felt the love, and risen to the occasion (please feel free to insert other sports cliches). Who will it be?

Cam was the guy against Ball State; He shoulda been it against Ohio; I'll say Tune against Alabama cause he wung it out there 23 times without a pick; I'd say Akpunku for Middle Tennessee cause of the pressure he brought (3TFL, 1 sack, and a FF); and no doubt Dunbar for LL.

If we win against FAU? I'll go with Royce Hill cause he is due to take something to the house this time, whether it's an interception or return.

Any other thoughts on who we'll be praising next week?

Or, conversely, if you want: should we lose another heart-breaker in the last seconds again, which poster will have a break-out performance on the boards the next day? Most F-bombs completed? Knee-jerk calls for firing Bataille for a loss? etc.

We have never beaten a Florida school and I like to think this sets up perfectly to break that trend.

I am with Lonnie: BJ shows us what the Green Gang was raving about in practice.

Royce will represent ST or Defense well (he is already!) by getting a TD: pick 6 or return....or both?! :)

Nothing but wishful thinking in this thread: I needed it!

Riley needs to step-up to the plate and deliver a clean game, meaning 0-1 turnovers, or else there should be a nice piece of pine, while Tune or Baine get a chance to run the offense.

I'll go with Craig Robertson. I see a interception, fumble, or blocked kick return for a TD in his future.

As far as blow up if we lose, I'll go with Lifer or Kram. Hey, it has to happen sometime, right? :D

Schnellenberger's offense will focus on the TE sets alot. There are 5 TE's on FAU's roster, with these 3 that play:

Senior TE Jason Harmon, 6-3, 215, is a highly ranked TE.

Senior Rob Housler, 6-5, 215, (Converse Judson HS)

Senior Jamari Grant, 6-5, 215

Defense- becasue the TE play is a focus of FAU's offense, my break out player for this

game will be Safety DaWaylon Cook.

Offense- The FAU secondary has new starters, and could be FAU's weak point to attack.

My break out player on offfense will be WR Darius Carey.

The entire team needs to have a break-out performance. They have improved to the point where they can stay in the game with most...now they need to figure out how to win and/or how to blow someone out. If they play to their potential, they can do it.

Are you sure? We beat FIU in 2005 13-10 and again the next year 25-22.

We also hold a 1-0 series advantage over the University of Florida

The playbook has went sailing right over his head this year

Fact is...in the discussions pro and con, and it might not make one bit of difference...The playbook is actually 21 years old.

We also beat Tampa in '66, and Pensacola Naval Air Station in '59. Hell, with the exception of Schnellenberger, we practically own Florida. :lol: Time for Howard to pay his Mean Green dues!

I just blew Natural Light out my nose. How in the world didn't you make the top ten?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
